Have you tried asking why they do this?

Indeed, I imagine nearly every Internet technology was designed with 
some serious practical purpose in mind.  Probably too many people are 
too quick to dismiss such things as IRC, MSN Messenger and the like as 
mere toys.  If people are doing this with newsgroups now, this must be 
very bad news.  What next?
